Tasting notes
The 2022 Syrah In the Rocks seduces with its savory, earthy, herbal bouquet, mixing seared meats with olive tones, sage and clove. It soothes the palate with cooling acidity as a sensation of liquid stone envelops the senses. Silken in feel yet lifted, almost airy, it seems to hover across the palate with depths of mineral-infused black fruits as a crunchy tension forms toward the close. Amazingly complex and beautifully balanced, the 2022 exhibits class and exoticism, leaving edgy tannins offset by a bump of vibrant acidity and a bitter blackberry tinge.

A yin-yang of bacon and violet combine aromatically to open the 2022 Syrah In the Rocks, which is layered and sublime in garrigue, crushed rock, and more bacon. Co-fermented with 7% Viognier, hints of white pepper close things out on a full-bodied, concentrated, still grippy finish. Age another 10-12 years.
